I made the mistake of going for quantity over quality and now I'm stuck with 11 more tasteless none offensive beers.

It's wonderful.

Strange it doesn't pull up on searches but its listed on beer advocate. I'm assuming its a belgian white beer.

Gonna try out a Dr Tongue tonight. Sounds good.

Yeah, it's brewed over west from me. Here's the companys website.

Also wonderful is the Salmon Fly Honey Rye (link) from Madison River. It's a nice, relaxing beer.

It doesn't seem either of those get much distribution outside the state, though, which is unfortunate.

As far as widely available beers go, Cuvee des Jacobis Rouge is the best sour beer I've ever had. My girlfriend even liked it, and she doesn't like beer.

Yeah the cuvee is pretty awesome. One of the better red flems out there. You have similar taste to bob hes into sours and flemish beers. I like them in the summer on occassion, but i'm definitely a devout ipa downer. Good taste.

Since I'm trying to avoid making my beer gut any larger, I don't drink during the week anymore (it's a weight issue, trust me...if I had it my way, I'd have a beer or two or three every night). So, I'll let you guys know about my beer explorations from the past weekend.

If they sold sixers of these, I would be buying only this...forever:

Friday night:

With dinner:

Ommegang Hennepin - It's probably the best Belgian Ale...ever (in this case a Farmhouse Saison). It's one of those beers where once you taste it, you end up inevitably taking a much larger swig than you first set out to do. It would take quite a paragraph to describe the complexity of this beer, so I'll just emphasize that you should drink one if you haven't.

The rest of the night:

Bell's Hopslam - I should have known to trust Bell's...their Two Hearted Ale is one of my favorites. I don't know why I stayed away from this sucker for so long. While the name implies an assault of hops, they are actually balanced perfectly with some fruity overtones.

Thirsty Dog's Old Leghumper - A bit more coffee taste than I normally like in my Porters, but really good nonetheless. Also not as thick as a lot of the porter's I've had in the past.

Thirsty Dog's Twisted Kilt - A damn good Scottish Ale. Of course, I was getting pretty loaded at this point, so most things would have tasted good at this point. I ordered it mostly because the server was cute and recommended it...plus I was impressed with a midwestern girl actually enjoying craft brews. So yeah.

Saturday:

New Belgium Trippel - The first disappointing beer of the weekend. I wanted another Belgian Ale...but more of it. And these came in sixers. I like Fat Tire for its nutty taste...unfortunately that somehow carried over into this. Needed way more characteristic Trippel flavors. I still drank all of them, though.

Left Handed Milk Stout - Yesssss. Currently my favorite Stout. Milky and Stouty in the best way possible.

Sunday (it's still the weekend, right?):

I had a couple of these guy left over from the previous weekend:

Flying Dog's Raging Bitch Belgian IPA - It was Belgian...it was IPA...surely that would be amazing, right? It was...ok. I definitely have to be in the mood for it, because those two styles actually work against each other in a lot of ways. I should also probably learn to stop falling for Flying Dog's cool artwork...because so far I've had "meh" feelings about Snake Dog (their IPA) and I really did not like In Heat Wheat.

And I ended the night with some (thankfully) leftover:

Stone IPA - One of the best IPAs money can buy.

Am I an alcoholic? Only on the weekends. Am I a beer snob? Most definitely. I take all of my interests too far...it's just how I do it. I got into music...turned into a music snob. I got into science...now I'm working on my graduate degree. I got into beer...and this post happened.

I love Ommegang so very much. And yes you have a problem, I think you're out of Ommegangs. :p: Solid run down there the Hop Slam is awesome too.

I'm starting to think I need something stronger than whiskey, would anybody recommend absinthe?

I've only had absinthe once but I certainly enjoyed it.
